Mysterious mountain-sized stone blocks tower over the jungles of
Venezuela and Bolivia. Could they be electrical uplifts?

In
previous Thunderbolts Picture of the Day articles, we
presented a possible scenario for various stone monoliths
around the world. We theorized that they are the result of
electrical uplift within the spinning vortices of titanic
Birkeland currents. Compression zones known as Bennett
pinches,
or Z-pinches, crush whatever material is within them
into solids, leaving sandstone and granite blocks behind.

In the three
corners region of the Amazon rise
formations of incredible strangeness and beauty. Called
"tepuis" (mesas), they are sandstone monoliths similar to
those we formerly discussed.

Roraima Tepui,
the tallest of the
Venezuelan sandstones, reaches nearly 3000 meters above
the cloud tops. "Roraima" means, "Mother of Waters" in the
language of the Pemon Indians who live in Paratepui and who
act as guides for trekking expeditions. The description is
apt because several rivers flowing into Brazil, Venezuela
and Guyana originate on or near its summit. It was the first
of the tepuis to be climbed 100 years ago and was probably
the inspiration for Doyle's "The Lost World."

On top of
Roraima Tepui is The Crystal Valley, a
steep depression containing
chunks of quartz in glittering piles. They can be
gathered by the handful like crushed ice. The tepuis are
distinctive in other respects, as well. Because of their
steepness and inaccessibility, the structures have developed
unique ecologies that vary from one another and from the
overall flora and fauna in the jungles at their feet.
Although there are strange creatures living on the tepuis,
there are no dinosaurs as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle hoped.

The most famous
tepui is Auyana, a 675 square kilometer monolith, out of
which gushes the highest waterfall on Earth,
Angel Falls. Also called Saltos Angel, the falls plummet
807 meters in a
misty veil. Jimmy Angel accidentally discovered the
falls that bear his name in 1935 while flying through the
Devil's Canyon region. In 1937, he and an exploration team
attempted to land on
top of Auyuna, but crashed into the boggy loam. A
1000-meter vertical descent and an eleven-day slog through
the wilderness brought them out with news of the site.

There are other
aspects of the tepuis that bear close examination. They are
honeycombed with
caves and tunnels that penetrate deeply into the rock
faces, revealing formations like those we considered in
another
Picture of the Day. Inside the
Cerro Autana tepui is a cave 430 meters long and 44
meters high made entirely of quartz. An enormous geode, in
other words.

Our
Picture of the Day about Ben Bulben revealed strange
rocks perched like stacked columns of loose boulders on many
monolithic granite mounds.
Logan Stones represent the mysteries surrounding the
origin of mountainous, isolated towers. On top of the tepuis,
such as
Roraima, are
structures that make conventional explanation all but
impossible.

Because stone
monoliths the world over - granite, sandstone or other
minerals notwithstanding - exhibit the same geological
phenomena, perhaps they were carved by the same force:
electric arcs billions of watts hot.

Authors David Talbott and Wallace
Thornhill introduce the reader to an age of planetary instability
and earthshaking electrical events in ancient times. If their
hypothesis is correct, it could not fail to alter many paths of
scientific investigation.

Professor
of engineering Donald Scott systematically unravels the myths of the
"Big Bang" cosmology, and he does so without resorting to black
holes, dark matter, dark energy, neutron stars, magnetic
"reconnection", or any other fictions needed to prop up a failed
theory.

In
language designed for scientists and non-scientists alike, authors
Wallace Thornhill and David Talbott show that even the greatest
surprises of the space age are predictable patterns in an electric
universe.
